I think we need to add the word “prevention” to the CDC name. I don’t think they get the concept.

Maybe the CDCP, Center for Disease Control and Prevention would recommend shutting down flights from West Africa and passengers with West Africa passports.

They keep saying they have it under control. How about preventing it from happening?

It doesn’t make sense. I try to not have tin foil hat syndrome but dog gone it. Forcing people to remain exposed makes no sense other than to think they want more infected.

WEll, that’s probably the best shot we have of the flights getting restricted...

Lives aren’t important enough - but when it hits them in the pocketbook...via stock sell off and canceled flights - they’ll listen.

If they DO finally shut those flights down, I wonder if pres. obolo will use his pen to make a law requiring them to re=open...

At this point, I can’t see that there is the slightest question.

Just look at how they spread the sick Salvadoran kids to as many schools as possible.

so now there’s THIS: excerpt: “s the hospital’s director, who had diarrhea and was vomiting repeatedly, but tested negative for the Ebola virus. ... When the director didn’t respond to treatment, a second test was done, which came back positive. That was 10 days after his first test. “

http://m.sciencemag.org/content/346/6205/17.full

So, in this New Jersey case, they did a quick test and determined he’s fine.

Is he being watched?

Are the flight attendants who had to deal with this being tracked and watched?

Are the passengers who were breathing the recycled air being cautioned and watched

Is this deliberate?
